itical Purposes

An Exploded Canard Revived For Po.
Htical Purposes.
NEW YORK, May 19.-The Commercial
Advertiser this afternoon publishes the fol-
lowing: It is already stated on very good
authority that Henry Georges labor party
has already begun to prepare ior thsiiall
campaign. District leaders, with their as
sistants. are making q house to house can
vass in tenement districts, and are said to
be recruiting their ranks from lukewarm
Democrats. It has been intimated that
the object Of the whole affair is to swell
the labor vote in the approaching election
to such an extent that George could then
be in a position to make profitable deal
with Blaine in the Presidential election OF
1888.
George this morning said: "You can
authoritatively deny that there is any deal
or agreement either past, pending. or to be
made in the future, between Blaine and
myself. am opposed to Blaine. He rep,
resents all have been fighting against for
and the worst form OF
capitalistic power.'
Twill there be labor Presidential can
djdate in 1887"
1T is strongly probable that there WILL"

Illness Of Ben Perley Poore.

WASHINGTON. May 17.-Maior Ben Per-
ley Poore was taken seriously i'll this after
noon in his committee room at the capitol.
The attack was the result of overwork and
heat. The Major was overcome suddenly
by sickness of the stomach and quietly
tainted away. Three physicians were soon
in attendance, and in few moments the
patient was restored to consciousness.
When bis strength was partially reeained
he was removed to his rooms at the Ebbitt

When they look at their bill and read the line

the way, all big circuses employ . man e.
pecially to write tho programme and other

you clearly that there is no particular fun in
owning or running . large circus, and that
there Is little or no exaggeration in the figures
generally given as the expense Of operating

Before we exhibit in q city at all the first
expense we incur is that Of advertising. This
department alone entails an expense Of about
$500 per day. This covers all the outlay neces-
sary to bring the show before the public eye,
and the newspapers naturally get the lions
share Of it. The rest Is laid out in pictorial
paper for the walls and bill boards, In itho-
graphs for store windows, in bill posting,

The Irish Crimes Act Under Considers
ton and Amendments Debated.
LONDON. May 1s.-The Commons tbi,
afternoon in committee began the consid
GRAFTON OF clause second OF the Irish crimes
bill. This clause proposes to extend sum
mary jurisdiction to conspiracy, boycott
ting, resistance to eviction and offensee
designated in the White Boy acts.
Maurice Healy, Parnellite, made an
amendment limiting the operation Of the
clause to offenses committed after the pas.
sage OF the act. Rejected by q vote of 1923
to 100.
Timothy Healy. Parnellite, moved that
0eiore any prosecution under the clause the
fat OF the Attorney General upon sworn
information must first be obtained.
Holmes, Attorney General for Ireland,
declared the adoption of such an amend
ment would render the clause incapable of
being worked. The amendment was lost
218 to 145.
Right Hon. George Shaw Lefevre, Lib
eral. moved the omission of q subsection
making punishable by summary jurisdic.
tlon the act OF conspiring to induce anyone
not to fulfill his legal obligations or occupy
lands, or not deal with, or work for any
one, or to induce and interfere with the ad-
ministration Of the law. This, Lefevre
was the section meant to be
used in the interest OF Irish landlords in
the collection of rents by criminal law, be.

SHERMAN AND BLAINE.
The Chic Lover Gets tho Consent for q
Hearing juno 1.

SPRINGFIELD, May 1S.-The Republican
boom in Illinois in behalf of John Sherman
has been definitely fixed. He is to expound
Republican doctrines with view to the
next campaign to the members Thirty fifth
General Assembly in this city on Wednes-
day, June 1. It will he seen that between
the eighteenth day of April and the ninth
OF May Mr.. Sherman found cause to change
his mind regarding his proposed visit to
the Illinois capital. This is in accordance
with what has already been telegraphed
The Herald on this subject. On the date
of his first letter he was acting with a
knowledge, it is said, that Governor
Oglesby regarded the manner of his invita-
States Senator CuIlom as Sherman boom
for the Presidency not only at the expense
Of Blaine's prospects for the Presidency,
but as lnimical to his own chances for Sec
ond place on the National Republican
ticket in 1888.
But it appears that all this has been
settled and harmony completely estab-
lished. Oglesby, it is understood, consents
to the Sherman boom on the condition
that it is to include. a good word for him
self. It will be observed by glancing over
the list of names signed to the original let
ter inviting Mr.. Sherman that it does not
contain a large number of the leading men,
bers Of the present assembly. 1t does con.
tain, however, sufficient number to indi.
cate that the attempt was made to procure
them all. A comparison of the signers to
the letter with the official list of the
Thirty-fifth Assembly will indicate those,
who, out of political preference for Blaine,
refused to attach their names to the invi-
tation.
